    He's throwing his toys out of the pram over money or the lack of it been offered to him to fight.

    He doesn't have any "superstars" to fight even though there are plenty of potential good fights for him (Dawson, Adamek, a 1698lb champ). If those fights don't get him excited, he should probably quit. He seems to have an unreasonable expectation about what he should be paid even though he simply isn't a fan draw.

    Incredible achievements, but he seems to be thinking he's bigger than the sport to some extent.

    Don't blame him, nothing more to prove, my first reaction after the Pavlik fight was that he should retire now, he doesn't need to go on any more. What a legend in and outside of the ring. I greatly respect him and the way he has turned his life around and his **** talking has provided great entertainment. He knows his stuff, could be a great coach.
